By: Mazola Corn Oil

Tex-Mex Chili with Black Beans, Corn and Butternut Squash is a delicious, easy to make chili recipe ready in just 30 minutes. Butternut squash adds sweetness and balance to this healthful, hearty chili.

Notes

Recipe note: If using fresh butternut squash, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes before adding to the chili or allow extra cooking time to ensure tenderness.


Recipe note: Use two bags (14 ounces each) frozen southwest vegetable blend in place of the canned corn and black beans. For added spiciness, try adding chipotle chile powder, cayenne pepper or a favorite hot sauce.


Additional heart healthy meal suggestions can be found at www.Mazola.com. Corn oil contains the highest amount of naturally occurring plant sterols per serving compared to any other cooking oil. Corn oil, such as Mazola, contains four times as many plant sterols as olive oil and 40 percent more than canola oil. Switching to corn oil whenever you use cooking oil is a great way to add plant sterols to your diet.
